All guests must enter the stadium through one of three gates open on the home side. Each person will go through the weapons detection systems located at these entry points. The gate closest to Slater Street is reserved for graduates only.
Additionally, the administration of Valdosta High School asks that ceremony attendees refrain from bringing in celebratory items including, but not limited to:
- Gifts
- Stuffed animals
- Flowers

Please remember that disrupting the ceremony by shouting, using artificial noisemakers, or similar behavior detracts from the dignity of the event. Help ensure that every family and friend can hear the name of their graduate as it is called. Security will be present and will address any disruptions accordingly.
